I’m glad Keegan Bradley has apologized for his repeated spitting during the Sunday finale of the Northern Trust Open, but he wasn’t the only offender – Dustin Johnson and Pat Perez were shown doing the same thing, and repeatedly. Look, I know on today’s PGA Tour they have bigger fish to fry, but golf is, after all, supposed to be a gentleman’s game, and last I checked no one’s forcing these guys to play on a stage where people are watching how they act and behave up close. This ain’t baseball, and you’d think the ever-image concious Commish Tim Finchem would tell the guys to elevate their games and habits a little bit. There’s already a code of dress out there; there should be a code of behavior as well. And spitting should be a part of that code. It’s gross, and it turns people off.

That being said, CBS Sports has really had some great golf to televise during the California swing – the Tiger / Phil finale at Pebble Beach, then the Phil / Keegan / Bill Haas classic last Sunday. It was great golf to watch at a beautiful venue.

At the WGC Match Play Tiger looked exceedingly vulnerable, but he definitely caught a break with Bill Haas being upset in the first round.
